Atchison, No, have been washed away

The river has been rising steadily for

yesterday drove the current against the
bank with great violence, washing out
the bed Of quicksand, which lies below a
stratum Of clay, and thus undermined,
section after section of earth as large as a
block Of buildings breaks loose and is
swallowed up by the mighty current.
All the residents Of that portion of the
town have been forced to hastily remove
their houses or abandon them to the
mercy OF the river. Tbs river is steadily
and surely cutting its way through the
narrow. neck Of land which affords ap-
proach to the east end Of thu Atchisou
bridge, and unless the government au-
thorities take speedy action in the matter,
the river will cut through, leaving the

REAL RECONCILIATION.
Whht Governor Morton Onco Said About
III t the Memories Of tho War. yy5E

ISDlANAroLls, July 1.-THE consuming
desire Expressed by MI. Cleveland tc
have all the memories Of the war blotted
out brings to mind the speech Of the late
Senator Morton on that aub,ect. \ 1t was
tho last speech ho ever made, and was do.
!iyercd on Decoration Day, 1877. It haa
been published before, but II Is one ol
thoBe things that can not too often be
printed. Among other things ho said: I
"Wo will lot by.gones be by.gonea. We
can not forget the past; We ought not to
forget It. God has planted memory In
our minds, and w8 can not blot II out.
But whilo wo can not forget We can for.
give, and We will forgive all who accept
tho great doctrines Of equal liberty and Of
equal rights to all, and equal protection to
all and will be reconciled to them. And
while we can not forget tho past, we will
treat them as sif tho past had
never occurred, and that is all that
can be asked; and that is true and perfect
reconciliation. True reconciliation does not
require us to forget these dead; does not
require us to forget the living soldier and
to cease 10 do him justice. We must re-.
member that there is an eternal differ.
ence between right and wrong, md that
we were on tho right side and that they
were on the wrong side; and all wo nsk
Of them Is that hereafter they ehall be on
tho right side. We should forever re.
member that we were in tho right. We
want to transmit that as q sacred inheri.
tance to our remotest postsrity. We
know that In the great atruggle we were

to paea down through all time--but that ia
consistent with true reconciliation. We
aay to thoae who were on the other eide OF
that great contest that cost us so dearly In
blood and treasure-that cost us so much
suffering and eacrifce-that while we
shall forever cherish the lessons that were
taught ns by that struggle, and while we
shall forever stand by the principles that
We maintained in that contest, all we ask
Of them is that they shall hereafter ntsnd
